Volume 1 The Dark Lantern Chapter 18 Ruling the Dark Lamp
Seeing that Tang Ruoxi had returned to normal, Yu Huo was happy for her from the bottom of his heart, and he sacrificed his life for their sisters in vain.
The two sisters achieved the unity of spirit and flesh, and there was no rejection between each other, which made Yu Huo feel somewhat relieved.
As a descendant disciple of the sewing corpse lineage, being able to complete the cultivation of the soul crossing shows that Yu Huo has officially inherited the ancestral mantle of the sewing corpse lineage.
However, Ember didn't think too much about it, after all, after crossing the spirit, no one knew if there would be unpredictable sequelae.
The disappearance of the master Jingshuilou after crossing the spirit is still a mystery to this day.
And this mystery, Ember hopes to solve by himself, all he needs to do is to wait patiently for the opportunity.
Yu Huo was discharged from the hospital, Tang Ruoxi naturally did not dare to slack off, and carefully selected a hotel on the river and sea to eat.
The reason why Tang Ruoxi is so attentive is that it can be regarded as a thank-you banquet for the embers, and secondly, it is also for her to pick up the wind and wash the dust and go to get rid of bad luck.
There are two reasons, more because Tang Ruoxi at this time has completely owned her sister's past memories, which makes her recall the whole process of why she committed suicide in the first place.
And there is an important link in this, that is, his fiancé Fang Yu, who actually defiled his sister Tang Ruoya with all his conscience.
Fang Yu's animal behavior was the fuse that directly led to Tang Ruoya's suicide, Tang Ruoya not only couldn't face herself, but also couldn't face her sister Tang Ruoxi, who had a deep relationship with her.
Tang Ruoxi held back the anger in her heart, at this time, she had the urge to kill Fang Yu, even if this beast was her fiancé, she might even become her husband in the future.
But Tang Ruoxi calmed down, she needed to restrain the impulse in her heart, her sister had committed suicide, and she absolutely couldn't let herself have an accident.
Tang Ruoxi knew in her heart that her grandfather Tang Daoyi was very old, and the Tang family needed her, and she needed to sit and stabilize the Tang family in order to stop Fang Yu's conspiracy from succeeding.
Right now, she needs to wait patiently for the opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to bring down Fang Yu and even the entire Fang family in one fell swoop, so that she can avenge her sister and regain the face that the Tang family deserves.
Tang Ruoxi's calmness was unexpected by Yu Huo, originally thought that after Tang Ruoxi knew the truth, she would cry, make trouble and hang herself like a brainless lady, but she didn't want to be so heartbroken, as if she had been reborn as a different person.
While eating, Tang Ruoxi kept looking at the embers, this was the first time she looked at a man so seriously, and she stared intently.
For a moment, Yu Huo's heart trembled, but he lowered his head shyly.
"Why are you staring at me like this, I've never seen a handsome guy."
Yu Huo deliberately avoided Tang Ruoxi's eyes, lowered his head and cut a piece of steak by himself, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it fiercely.
Tang Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, this was her long-lost smile, since her sister committed suicide, she had never smiled so brightly and happily.
"I didn't expect you to be so shy."
Tang Ruoxi thought that Yu Huo was still a virgin, and the confusion in his heart was immediately relieved, after all, a man who had never seen a woman's body was not uncommon to be shy in front of beautiful women.
"Waiter, another steak."
Yu Huo hurriedly changed the topic, after all, Tang Ruoxi's eyes were so bright, who was changed, it was estimated that he couldn't stand it, not to mention that Tang Ruoxi was a famous beauty in Jianghai, not to mention the first, at least the top three.
No makeup can defeat many female models and female stars in Jianghai, which shows the essence of Tang Ruoxi's beauty embryo, and her beauty is just like her name.
Seeing that Yu Huo was a little embarrassed, Tang Ruoxi stopped teasing her, and then said seriously: "Yu Huo, can I call you that?" ”
"Whatever, when you were on the mountain before, didn't you call it that."
Yu Huo stuffed a large mouthful of steak into his mouth, and unconsciously glanced at Tang Ruoxi, it was indeed ice muscle and jade bones, the country was beautiful, and she was a fairy sister.
"Can you stay and help me?"
Tang Ruoxi's pleading eyes made Yu Huo see her worries, because she needed to assist her grandfather to stabilize the situation of the Tang family as soon as possible, and if she wanted to stabilize the Tang family, she must first settle inside, and the first thing she had to face was the Tang family's clansmen.
These old clansmen up and down the Tang family ancestral hall are all staring at the fat of the Tang family, waiting for Tang Daoyi to divide and encroach after a hundred years, hoping that the Tang family will be as chaotic as possible.
As the granddaughter of Tang Daoyi's descendant, Tang Ruoxi is naturally the rightful heir of the Tang family, but Tang Ruoxi does not have the ability to sit in the leading position of the Tang family at the moment, and she is a milky female streamer, how can she be the opponent of these old gingers of the Tang family?
So she needs a helper, she needs a helper, and Ember is the ideal candidate in her heart.
Looking at Tang Ruoxi's expectation, Yu Huo didn't give her the slightest face, and bluntly refused: "I'm used to being prodigal, and besides, those who do our job are all yin. Where there are dead men, there is a place where we settle. ”
Yu Huo's answer made Tang Ruoxi a little disappointed, but she also understood Yu Huo, after all, she had seen with her own eyes the ability of Yu Huo, as the inheritor of the sewing corpse lineage, she needed to carry forward this almost lost skill and pass it on.
Thinking of this, Tang Ruoxi did not forcibly leave the embers, the twisted melon was not sweet, Tang Ruoxi naturally knew this truth.
"Then whatever you want, this is the remuneration that grandpa specially gave me to you, it is all cash, I hope you accept it, it should be a little bit of our Tang family's heart for you."
When Tang Ruoxi finished saying this, he handed over a box, and his reluctant expression made people feel somewhat sympathetic, but Yu Huo immediately put himself in the right position, as the heir of the corpse, he must not have feelings for the family of the deceased, so as not to break the rules of the ancestors.
"Thank you, thank you to the thief on my behalf, by the way, don't force yourself too much, everything will have a reincarnation of cause and effect, everything will be natural."
Yu Huo spoke with metaphysics, with string sounds in and out of the words, and got along with Yu Huo for a while, Tang Ruoxi naturally could hear the meaning of Yu Huo's words, which was to ask her to do what she could, not to be brutal, but to wait for a favorable opportunity.
Before leaving, Ember said meaningfully: "Pay attention to the people around you, the more people around you, the more you need to be careful." ”
After speaking, Yu Huo waved his hand in a dashing manner, and entered the elevator in and out of the hotel without looking back, and Tang Ruoxi looked at the back of Yu Huo leaving, and always felt empty in his heart.
Looking back on the time spent with Ember, the details are vivid, there are doubts, suspicions, laughter, true feelings, and more reluctance.
Maybe the embers were just a hurried passer-by in his life, so Tang Ruoxi had to pack up his mood, get off the elevator, and come to the basement to pick up the car.
As soon as Yu Huo got out of the elevator, he was suddenly blindfolded with a black cloth bag and dragged into a Wuling Hongguang van.
And the van passed by Tang Ruoxi's car, but Tang Ruoxi didn't notice that the embers were in the car.
The car that brought Ember into the car kept circling in the streets and alleys of Jianghai City, obviously deliberately avoiding something, and being so mysterious made Ember a little more interested.
About half an hour later, Yu Huo was taken to an abandoned shipyard, which was originally a leading enterprise in Jianghai, but the boss suddenly closed down for unknown reasons, and the owner disappeared without a trace.
It has been abandoned so far, but it has become a good place for many good deeds to be handed over.
As soon as the car stopped, the moment the car door was opened, I heard two people kneeling on one knee, and one of them said respectfully: "Sir, it happened suddenly, and you were wronged, and you didn't take off the hood for Mr." ”
The people in the car hurriedly helped Yu Huo take off the black hood, and the strong light shone on Yu Huo's eyes, which made him a little unhappy, but when he saw the two brightly dressed flat-headed brothers in front of him, they looked like the clothes of rich family slaves.
Although Ember didn't know who these people were, who they were for, and why they wanted to arrest him.
"Sir, our master is waiting for you inside, please get out of the car."
The embers are as calm as water, on the one hand, because they have never seen any scenes in the embers, so many dead people and ghosts are not afraid, how can they be afraid of a few big living people?
From the tone of this flat-headed brother just now, it can be heard that the other party is not trying to kidnap and ask for his life, but seems to be asking for himself, which makes Yu Huo feel more confident.
Since he shook his shoulders, Yun got out of the car lightly and followed Brother Pingtou into the old workshop of the old shipyard.
The building of the old shipyard is the structure of the eighties and nineties of the last century, after decades of wind and rain, it has long been dilapidated, but this old workshop, because of the need to build a huge ship, and specially reinforced to build, but there is still some use.
Brother Pingtou took the embers to an old office in the innermost part of the workshop, which was originally the office of the director of the production workshop.
The desk was old and dusty, the black leather sofa was old and cracked, and I saw an old man wearing a peaked cap sitting on the sofa, holding a cigarette between his right fingers, and his mouth had just spit out clouds of smoke, which filled the office, dim and depressing.
At the same time, the two flat-headed brothers who led the way just now, after nodding to the old man, did not speak, but respectfully exited the office and closed the office door casually.
"Sit down."
The old man wearing a peaked cap, with a deep voice, seemed to come from his nasal cavity, which made people stunned, and his whole body felt a little chilly.
Yu Huo didn't listen to the old man's meaning, but stood opposite the old man, and said unhurriedly: "What's the matter with me?" ”
Seeing that Yu Huo was so calm, the old man showed a brief smile on his face, got up from the sofa, tore his clothes, and revealed the position of his right shoulder and neck, and several blood-red and blackened tooth marks suddenly appeared in front of Yu Huo's eyes.
Although the light in the office was not good, and it was even a little difficult to see, Ember had already guessed a few points, it was not a mosquito bite, nor was it a snake bite, but a human tooth mark.
Seeing this scene, Yu Huo subconsciously took out a handful of glutinous rice from the cloth bag on his waist, and when he was about to apply it to the wound on the old man's neck, the old man stopped Yu Huo and said earnestly: "It's useless, you and I are out of the same house, don't waste rations, my time is running out, it happened suddenly, please come over in this way, don't blame the old man for being rude." ”
I saw that the old man's body suddenly twisted, he was bitten by something unclean, and the thing that bit him was by no means idle, in this case, the ember fire was also the first time to see it with his own eyes.
"This is the ancestral guide of the corpse lineage, the top priority, only you can be competent to take charge of the spirit lamp, for the sake of the corpse lineage, you must take good care of it."
The old man took out a straight lamp with purple and blue light, put his hands trembling into the hands of the embers, and when he was barely awake, he trembled his lips and gritted his teeth and said: "After I lose my mind, a fire will burn me, remember, you must not show mercy to your subordinates, and harm the world." ”
